For all their millions, they still have Ryan Alsopp in goal

Beadle will end up starting for them

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Watching Alsopp in goal, do you think they’d accept Brad Collins?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Birmingham seem to move the ball around quickly and look alright going forward…. Defence looks like ours though, there’s a bollock being dropped every other game

 

[Tommo1993]

Bloody hell Ryan Allsopp looks like he's spent the summer looking for his precious

What a long series of books that was, fuck me.

 

[PVA]

Ipswich just hoofing it long from what I've seen so far

 

[Evo1883]

I think city have a better team than birmingham tbh

 

[TomRad85]

I agree, I see it the other way too. I could see them completely bullying us.

We have a quite imposing team, not sure why it's still a meme that we're a set of pussies, it's just not true.

Id swap BTA or Simms for Kyogo though to be fair.

 

[Warwickhunt]

I think birmingham are full of energy sure , not sure they can keep this press up for 90 .. Ipswich the bigger more powerful team overall

Totally agree Evo! If Brum don't press all game and let the horses bring the ball under control they will get picked off, really difficult to press all game!

 

[Evo1883]

Looks a tidy player

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I hope we don’t have this ref. Literally blowing up for every touch

 

[procdoc]

The standard of officiating has improved I see…

That's a low bar. Those of us with eyes know we could do with a CF.

Theres a fair few blind folk on this forum then

 

[procdoc]

Kyogo looks a class act

 

[Major Tom]

Ipswich getting some chances one will come off.

 

[procdoc]

Jack Clarke looks a shadow of the player he was at Sunderland

 

[Evo1883]

Jack Clarke looks a shadow of the player he was at Sunderland

I was about to say hes looked pretty poor so far

 

[stupot07]

We have Sakamoto and Dasilva in the starting line up, plus Simms and Wright can get dominated despite his size.

 

[Blind-Faith]

The first “time out” of the season. Just get on with the bloody game!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

We have Sakamoto and Dasilva in the starting line up, plus Simms and Wright can get dominated despite his size.

Sakamoto is probably one of the hardiest places in our starting XI

 

[procdoc]

Will no doubt score now

Why do you always put our players down?

 

[Evo1883]

Ipswich really not on the level of leeds last season at all in my mind

 

[stupot07]

Sakamoto is probably one of the hardiest places in our starting XI

He is, but you wouldn't say he is physically imposing and can get targeted especially away from home.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Birmingham have looked alright. Ipswich looking a bit hungover, in particular Jack Clark who hasn't looked at the races at all yet

 

[Ccfcisparks]

He is, but you wouldn't say he is physically imposing and can get targeted especially away from home.

He draws a lot of fouls, bookings and sending offs and gets back up and goes again. Physically imposing isnt always a huge orc stomping around the pitch.

 

[mark82]

Not impressed with Stansfield.

 

[stupot07]

Why do you always put our players down?

I don't always put our players down. Just pointing out in terms of physicality we still have some areas of weakness. At times we have had Dasilva, Allen and Sakamoto on the pitch.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

He’ll score now but £15 million for Stansfield is poor imo.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Not impressed with Stansfield.

Very rash with two good opportunities

 

[larry_david]

Very overrated, bless him

 

[CovveeBreak]

Brum looking very tidy but there is not a chance in hell they keep up this intensity with the press all game, never mind all season. Only reason they are stifling Ipswich really.

 

[pusbccfc]

Birmingham making it difficult for Ipswich. Ref struggling with the Birmingham fans screaming for a foul on every touch.
